Océ PRISMAaccess 5.4
Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, announced the availability of Océ PRISMAaccess 5.4, bringing support for a wider range of jobs and streamlined submission methods for print providers and their customers. This includes customizable online documents, variable data printing applications and the ordering of inventory items and catalogued print documents. In addition, clients can submit files through cloud delivery services and take advantage of new direct payment capabilities.
According to research firm InfoTrends' 2013 U.S. Production Software Investment Outlook, in-plant operators are projecting a 77 percent growth in the volume of digital print produced by their facilities that is submitted through a Web portal between 2012 and 2014.1
"Print service providers are working to implement dynamic online business communications supply chain solutions with complete print fulfillment features," said Barbara Pellow, group director, InfoTrends. "They want users to be able to easily order and manage any digital media, business documents, business cards, catalogs, training manuals, employee documentation and compliance information. They are also exploring how to provide tools with variable imprinting and customization."
PRISMAaccess 5.4 not only addresses the needs of in-house print operations, but also print service providers who want to make it easier for their customers to submit and monitor the status of a wider variety of jobs through an interface that is tightly integrated with the printer's workflow processes. The PRISMAaccess solution can also help production print providers process jobs faster, better control costs, and offer new services to their clients.
Variable Data Printing
PRISMAaccess 5.4 supports the design, submission, composition and printing of documents that have variable content, such as personalized direct mail postcards and business cards that can be personalized online. Master document templates can be created in an integrated editor and saved as an orderable product. Clients can then provide the variable data when ordering the product they want to customize. A separate license for the VDP module is required to enable variable printing capabilities.
Expanded Ordering and Submission Capabilities
The new version of PRISMAaccess now facilitates the ordering of non-printed inventory items such as pens, notebooks, memory sticks and calculators.
To streamline the opening and sending of large print files, clients can now select and order reprints from a library of pre-approved documents such as existing training manuals and corporate brochures. As these documents can be quite large, PRISMAaccess 5.4 allows users to preview a portion of the document, without having to download it, to determine whether it is the correct document.
The new PRISMAaccess solution also introduces the ability for users to order documents stored in the cloud. With existing support for DropboxTM, users have the ability to easily order documents stored in one of today's most popular cloud applications.
Accept Direct Payments
Previous versions of PRISMAaccess offered extended accounting functions and customized reports to help allocate costs and create invoices. PRISMAaccess 5.4 now also includes the ability for users to pay for orders via PayPalTM. When ordering a product for which the price is determined, the job submitter will be offered the option to pay for their order during the submission process.
"Far too many companies and users still rely on archaic methods of submitting print jobs to their production departments and print providers, such as using email or memory sticks to transfer the documents and using email to discuss job specifications, receive estimates and preview and approve jobs," said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Marketing, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A. "With the introduction of PRISMAaccess 5.4, Canon is extending our support for electronic job submission helping our customers streamline workflow and embracing a more efficient and cost-effective way to manage production print jobs within their organizations."
PRISMAaccess is just one offering within the Océ PRISMA family of solutions that, together, streamline print production workflow from job submission through production. It is compatible with any PDF-based printer, such as Canon's imagePRESS and varioPRINT cut sheet digital presses.
PRISMAaccess 5.4 is currently available for immediate purchase and as a free upgrade from PRISMAaccess v5 for customers with existing software maintenance agreements.

Mequon — Outpost Natural Foods Cooperative has announced it will open its fourth store in Mequon on May 12.
The 16,700-square-foot store at7590 W. Mequon Road marks the co-op's fourth location and its first outside of Milwaukee County. A ribbon cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. May 12 will cap off a 10-month, $5.6 million construction project that began in July 2013.
Outpost, which started in 1970, operates three other stores at 100 E. Capitol Dr., Milwaukee; 7000 W. State St., Wauwatosa; and 2826 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., Milwaukee, and two Market Café locations at Aurora Sinai Medical Center, Milwaukee, and at the Rite-Hite Family YMCA complex in Brown Deer.
New to the co-op and unique to the Mequon location will be a stone-hearth pizza oven, local beer, kombucha and sodas on tap, and a sheltered outdoor dining pavilion. The Mequon store will feature wood rafters, Lannon stone and other elements reclaimed from buildings cleared for the site. Regular store hours will be 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
Being a cooperatively-owned business, Outpost will rely on its growing Ozaukee County ownership base to provide strong support for the store. Roughly 5 percent of Outpost's nearly 19,000 owners call Mequon home, and the co-op's management expects to attract new owners from neighboring communities.
"We couldn't be more excited about the opportunities this location gives us to demonstrate the distinct values held by our co-op," according to Pam Mehnert, Outpost's general manager. "Our 2022 goals of creating lively neighborhood markets, dynamic local food systems, strong community partnerships, sustainable solutions and amazing places to work are all captured by our Mequon location."
Outpost is known for its natural, organic and locally-sourced products. More than 90 percent of its produce is organic, and more than 30 percent of its overall sales support local growers and producers. Outpost is the fourth-largest cooperatively owned natural foods grocer in the country by sales volume, closing its 2013 fiscal year just shy of $40 million in sales.

Nethergate - Review @ Applelinks
by Dhruin, 2007-10-17 00:39:22
A site called Applelinks has a new review of Spiderweb's Nethergate: Resurrection, with a score of 4/5. Here's a bit on reading:
Later in the game, you'll come across an unusual group of people called Selkies, who turn from humans to seals, and who are misunderstood and threatened by those around them. They describe their sadness and desire to be alone to live their life, and their leader asks you to help them so they can have some peace. Does the music change to reflect their sad plight? Is there a close-up of a Selkie's tear-stained face? No. You'll have to read and use your imagination.

Energy Policy • Energy policy in the United States • Fracking in Hawaii • Energy and environmental news |
Energy policy in Hawaii depends on geography, natural energy resources, how electricity is generated, how much energy consumers use, politics and the influence of groups such as environmental and industry organizations. Decisions by policymakers, such as state and local governments, utilities and regulatory agencies, affect all citizens economically and environmentally, and are generally geared toward providing reliable, affordable energy. The cost of energy affects not only home heating and electricity bills, and thus disposable income, but also economic growth, including jobs, investment and the cost of doing business in the state.
How energy is produced and consumed also has an impact on the environment and pollution. Energy policy in Hawaii, and many other states, focuses on decreasing emissions and dependence on fossil fuels by increasing energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy. Because Hawaii is isolated from the rest of the 50 states energy transmission is difficult and energy is quite expensive, especially when compared to the rest of the United States. Energy policy in Hawaii has then concentrated on keeping costs low and aggressively pursuing renewable energy development, as can be seen by their audacious Renewable Portfolio Standard, described below. As the infrastructure for producing and delivering renewable energy sources is not as advanced as it is for energy generation from traditional sources, these policies often require subsidies to make the produced energy affordable, and their effects are difficult to measure.
Energy policy involves trade-offs between providing an affordable, consistent energy supply on the one hand, and limiting pollution and protecting the environment, on the other. How states attempt to balance these two differs between states, and often boils down to costs to consumers versus costs to the environment. This article provides general energy information about the state as the context within which energy policy is made, as well as information about major legislation and public and private groups that play a role in setting energy policy in the state.

Energy overview
State facts
Below are quick facts about Hawaii's energy climate.
- imports 94 percent of its energy.
- has no fossil fuels.
- has renewable energy in the form of biomass, biofuels, geothermal, hydroelectric energy, wind and solar energy.
- ranks 11th in the nation for solar photovoltaic production.
- has the world's largest commercial electricity generator fueled exclusively with biofuels.
- is one of eight states with installed geothermal capacity.
- mandates that 40 percent of all electricity come from renewable sources by 2030.[3]
In Hawaii
- households consume about 34 percent less energy than the U.S. average, but spend 23 percent more for energy than the U.S. average.
- almost three fourths of the electricity consumed comes from petroleum.
- electricity is the main source of energy used in home heating, which is minimal due to Hawaii's warm climate.
- renewable energy sources made up 13.7 percent of electricity generation in 2012.[4]
- transportation is the largest energy-consuming sector in the state.[3]
Available energy resources
Hawaii has no traditional energy resources such as oil, coal or natural gas and has to import nearly all its energy. Petroleum, coal and a small amount of natural gas are shipped in by barge from pacific rim countries such as Indonesia or from Alaska. Hawaii does produce small amounts of "syngas" from naphtha feedstock, which is a waste product from local refineries.[3]
Hawaii has renewable energy resources that generate about 14 percent of the state's total electricity in 2012 according to the Hawaii State Government. Wind and solar generation are growing in Hawaii, but are limited by the small, independent grid systems of each island, which have high variability. Hawaii does have biomass capacity, with bagasse and municipal waste as feedstock. The world's largest commercial electricity generator fueled exclusively from biofuel is located in Hawaii. The Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii Island provides geothermal resources for commercial use. Despite having almost no hydroelectric capacity on its rivers, the military is experimenting with wave technology, which could potentially be a substantial source of power for the state.[3][5]

As shown on the pie chart in 2011, roughly half of Hawaii's energy use was for transportation. Tourism is Hawaii's largest industry, which consumes large amounts of jet fuel and gasoline. A little under a quarter was used for industry, and just over a quarter went to residential and commercial property combined. Most of the energy used in the state is in the form of petroleum used primarily for transportation and electricity generation.[7] Gasoline, used in transportation, accounts for over half of the petroleum consumed in the state, with electrical generation consuming another third. While gasoline prices in Hawaii tend to follow national trends, the price is consistently higher because of high transportation costs and high demand.[8][9] According to the EIA's February 2014 report, the federal excise tax is 18.40 cents/gallon of gasoline and 24.40 cents/gallon of diesel fuel. Hawaii has a 17 cent excise tax on gasoline, an added tax of 30.1, making the total tax per gallon of gas 47.1 cents, the third highest tax in the nation.[10][11]
Comparisons tables
The table below compares Hawaii's consumption and spending for energy, as well as prices for gas and electricity, and carbon emissions to those of Delaware, which has similar population and resources. Hawaii is a unique state for energy because of its geographical isolation and lack of resources. Delaware can provide a comparison because both states rely on imported energy and have high energy costs. Also given are the U.S. averages and the state rankings. All rankings are from highest to lowest, so, for example:
- Hawaii's rank of 43rd in carbon emissions means that carbon emissions are higher in Hawaii than in Delaware, which has a ranking of 48th.
- Per capita income in Hawaii is higher than the national average, and higher than in Delaware, which at 24th ranks six places behind Hawaii's ranking of 18th.
- Both Hawaii (at first) and Delaware (at 14th) pay above the national average for electricity.
- Similarly, natural gas prices in Hawaii (1st) and Delaware (6th) are also high.
- Energy consumption per capita in Delaware (30th) is higher than Hawaii (48th) due to its energy intensive chemical and petroleum refining industries.

Electricity produced and consumed in Hawaii is primarily from petroleum, which produces three fourths of the state total. While Hawaii produces no crude oil, it does have two refineries, which supply about 90 percent of the state's demand. The crude oil that passes through these refineries comes from pacific countries, along with Africa, Russia and the Middle East. Jet fuel and propane come from Asia, Canada and the Caribbean.
Hawaii imports all the natural gas it consumes, but produces "syngas" from naphtha, a waste product from local oil refineries. It is produced in a plant on Oahu and delivered by a local pipeline to different areas of the island. Rural areas and some other islands use propane instead of natural gas or syngas. Two thirds of the natural gas demand in Hawaii comes from hotels and restaurants. Very few people use natural gas to heat their homes because of the mild climate.[3]

Hawaii has four electrical utilities: Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC), Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO), Maui Electric Company (MECO) and Hawaii Electric Light Company (HELCO). Each services an island or group of islands. Hawaii only has one natural gas provider, Hawaii Gas.[14]
Energy policy
- See also: Fracking in Hawaii
Energy policy is made, executed and influenced by many organizations, both public and private, and is codified in the laws and regulations of the state. Each state's energy policy involves trade-offs in which energy production and prices are weighed against environmental concerns and efficiency. Hawaii's dependence on petroleum has been one of the motivating factors in its movement towards renewable energy and energy efficiency. Hawaii passed its first Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) in 2001, which has since been updated. As of 2009, Hawaii's goal is that 40 percent of electrical generation come from renewable sources by 2030. Utilities are required to comply with the standard and are monitored by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Under the standard, renewable energy includes: wind, solar, hydropower, biogas, geothermal, biomass, biofuels and hydrogen generation. Consumers pay for the Public Benefits Fund, which helps pay for renewable and energy efficient technology. In conjunction with Hawaii's RPS is the state's Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (EEPS), which is meant to reduce anticipated energy sales by 30 percent. Overall, Hawaii's goal is 70 percent clean energy by 2030, including renewable energy generation and energy efficiency measures. Some studies suggest that states with renewable portfolio standards have higher electricity costs.[16][17][18]
Hawaii ranked 20th on the Energy Efficiency Scorecard produced by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.[19] There are differing estimates about the economic impact of these mandates in terms of costs that may affect prices and jobs, as well as the impact on the environment and pollution. Thus, for example, there are many new studies of what is called the "rebound effect" which refers to the fact that "some of the theoretically estimated gains in energy efficiency will be eroded as consumers consume additional goods and services."[20][21]
Major legislation
- The Hawaii Renewable Portfolio Standard (HB 1464), in 2009 created Hawaii's most recent renewable portfolio standard (RPS), with a goal that 40 percent of Hawaii's electrical generation would come from renewable sources by 2030. Renewable energy includes: wind, solar, hydroelectric energy, biogas, geothermal, biomass, biofuels and hydrogen generation. HB 1464 gives the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) authority to establish standards for each utility regarding which renewable sources it should use. Every five years, the PUC is required to contract the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) to conduct a study reviewing the progress of utilities towards the goal. Utilities are required to comply with an increasing standard of renewable electricity generation every five years until the goal of 40 percent by 2030 is reached. The schedule for those standards begins with 10 percent in 2010, 15 percent by 2015, 25 percent by 2020 and finally 40 percent by 2030. HB 1464 also created Hawaii's Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (EEPS), which aims to reduce electricity use by 4,300 gigawatts by 2030. The bill directs the PUC to set benchmarks for utilities between 2009 and 2030 to help them reach the goal. Energy efficiency is allowed to count towards a utility's renewable generation until 2015, when it will become separate from the Renewable Portfolio Standard. Technologies for energy efficiency include: solar water heating, seawater air conditioning systems, solar air conditioning and ice storage. Energy efficiency programs created by utilities also count towards meeting the EEPS.[22][23]
- The Public Benefits Fee Authorization (HRS § 269-121) in 2006, created the Public Benefits Fund (PBF), which was amended in 2013 to provide financing for renewable energy technology. The PBF is funded through a utility bill surcharge.The surcharge is based off total utility revenue, which is also used to set the budget for the PBF. The fund is administered by a third party, created by the Hawaii Government, called Hawaii Energy. Utility customers are eligible to receive incentives through Hawaii Energy's rebate programs for home appliances, industrial energy efficiency and other technology.[24]
- HB 2175 (2006), created energy standards for state owned facilities and operations. All buildings designed and constructed are required to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design's (LEED) silver standard, or a similar guideline. This includes using high-performance windows, and maximizing natural light and ventilation. Solar water heaters are required for all state buildings. The bill requires agencies to use energy efficient technology, products and materials wherever possible and can use utility rebate programs to lessen costs. Agencies should also use alternative fuel whenever possible. HB 1464 created new requirements for existing buildings larger than 5,000 square feet or that use more than 8,000 kWh annually. These buildings must take measures to become more energy efficient wherever possible.[25]
Government agencies and committees
- Within the Hawaii State Legislature there are twostanding committees that deal with energy issues: the Senate's' Energy and Environment Committee and the House Energy and Environmental Protection Committee. The Senate Energy and Environment Committee has five members and the House Energy and Environmental Protection Committee has ten.[26][27]
- The Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) was created in 1913 and was originally funded by fees required from the specified utilities which the PUC was directed to regulate. The governor appoints the three commissioners, with the consent of the Senate, to one, two, or three year terms. They operate under the Hawaii Division of Budget and Finance. The PUC prescribes rates, tariffs, charges and fees and determines the allowable rate of earnings for utilities. They also create guidelines regarding the management of utility businesses, and act on requests for the acquisition, sale, disposition or exchange of utility property.[28]
- The Hawaii State Energy Office coordinates the state's energy policy development and activities. They operate under the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism. Their goals focus on diversifying the state's energy portfolio, connecting the islands' electricity through a grid, balancing environmental and economic concerns, fostering energy innovation and allowing for free markets to "pick the winners." This agenda is part of the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative, which is an energy agreement Hawaii made with the US Department of Energy. The State Energy Office helps to carry out the provisions of that agreement.[29][30]
- The Department of Consumer Advocacy (DCA), housed in the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA), was established to represent consumer interests before the PUC and other regulatory agencies. The DCA reviews the rate change applications submitted by utilities and makes recommendations to the PUC. The DCA also promotes state energy policy with emphasis on the needs of Hawaii's consumers.[31]
- The Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI), a partnership between the State of Hawaii and the U.S. Department of Energy, was created in 2008 to help Hawaii develop its renewable resources and decrease its petroleum dependence. The core membership of the HCEI is composed of groups of different organizations. These groups were created to represent important constituencies which would be affected by energy policy and who could help create plans for future energy policy. The HCEI is designed to be a collaborative effort "to leverage their respective strengths in achieving a clean energy future." The HCEI helped create Hawaii's Renewable and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standards.[32][33]
- The Hawaii Board of Land and Natural Resources is a seven member board that manages the state's natural resources. The chairperson oversees this board and the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources. The chairperson oversees 11 divisions as part of the Department of Land and Natural Resources.[34]
Major organizations
- The Conservation Council for Hawaii (CCH) is a non-profit organization formed in 1950 to protect Hawaii's environment. Since its founding, membership has grown to over 5,500 people, mostly Hawaiians, who work together to promote responsible environmental policy. CCH is funded by dues and donations, but also by grants for specific projects. Along with advocating for public policy, they contribute to local projects and emphasize education and environmental responsibility. They also participate in litigation as plaintiffs and as an interested party.[35][36]
- The Hawaii Conservation Alliance (HCA) was founded in 1988 as the Hawaii Conservation Biology Initiative and Secretariat for Conservation Biology. The alliance is a collaboration by the leaders of 23 Hawaiian government, cultural, educational and non-profit organizations. Their goals are to increase education and awareness of Hawaii's environmental issues, help create the capacity for effective conservation and restoration and advocate for investment in natural resource management and conservation. Each year, the HCA hosts the Hawaii Conservation Conference to increase collaboration and knowledge sharing among natural resource professionals in the Pacific.[37][38]
- The Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) is in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. It was created by law in 1974 after the oil embargo to lessen Hawaii's dependence on petroleum, meet Hawaii's growing energy demand and create new energy technology. HNEI works by conducting and supporting research to better understand Hawaii's natural resources and investigating the social, financial and environmental impacts of energy-marine activities. One of their recent accomplishments was the discovery and now use, of geothermal resources in Hawaii.[39]

text: The General Election Commission (KPU) announced over the weekend that out of 16 political parties, 13 had passed the factual verification stage at the national level.The KPU was yet to decide the status of the Golkar party, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) and the Crescent Star Party (PBB), which thus far are still undergoing the factual verification process.KPU said in a statement that the three political parties failed to meet the basic requirements for parties to be declared eligible to contest the 2014 general election.Golkar and PBB have failed to meet the basic requirements that women make up 30 percent of the party central board membership. The Muslim-based PKS, meanwhile, failed to present its chairman and secretary general during a visit by a KPU commissioner."When we arrived for the verification process, both the party chairman and secretary general failed to show up," KPU commissioner Ferry Kunia Riskiyansyah said in a statement.As for the female representation, 61 percent of PKS' central board membership are female party members.The three parties have until Nov. 17 to complete their applications before being subjected to another round of factual verification.The 13 political parties that have passed the factual verification process at the national level are; the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), the National Awakening Party (PKB), the National Mandate Party (PAN), the Democratic Party, the United Development Party (PPP), the Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra), the People's Conscience Party (Hanura), the National Democrat Party (Nasdem), the Indonesian Justice and Unity Party (PKPI), the National Unity Party (PPN), the National Care for People Party (PPRN), the Democratic Renewal Party (PDP) and the New Indonesian National Sovereignty Party (PKBIB).Responding to the verification result, Golkar deputy secretary general Nurul Arifin said that there was no reason for party members to panic."We are not worried. We know all the stages and this is not a reason to panic. Next week, we will submit a new list with more female members," Nurul said as quoted by Antara news wire.Nurul said that Golkar had in fact met the 30 percent threshold for female central board members. "They just failed to show up during the verification process. Some of them went on the haj pilgrimage, some were out of town or overseas. They will definitely show up for the next verification stage," Nurul said.

Perspectives on compliance: non-compliance with environmental licences in the Netherlands

Abstract: | Compliance with environmental law is not self-evident. In many instances enforcement of environmental regulations is a necessary means for achieving compliance. Assuming that an enforcement strategy, in order to be effective, has to fit the type of non-compliance, we integrate six different theoretical perspectives on compliance in order to develop enforcement strategies that can deal with the variety of factors causing compliance. We illustrate our findings with a case of non-compliance with Dutch environmental regulation. |

Visualizing Health
Despite continued advances in healthcare and technology, there are persistent gaps in health and healthcare across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups around the world. Why is it that one ethnic group continues to suffer from a specific type of cancer while another ethnic group has experienced declining rates of incidence? Understanding these gaps, or health disparities, is crucial to the improvement of healthcare quality as a whole. And so, we are asking the world's design community to help us understand health disparities through data visualization.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) in the US has collected data on disparities within 'priority populations,' which are groups with unique healthcare needs or issues that require special attention. The overall purpose is to help identify the groups in greatest need and to target quality improvement programs towards them.
In collaboration with the Research Centers in Minority Institutions Program (RCMI), we'd like to challenge the world's designers to produce cutting-edge, informative visualizations of the data to help achieve this goal.
Deadline: January 23, 11:59PM EST

We look forward to seeing your submissions!

The Italian's representative has claimed the Ligue 1-winners will offer his client an improved contract in a bid to curtail interest from Real Madrid
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti will be offered a new contract next week amid interest from Real Madrid, according to his agent.The 20-year-old has enjoyed an impressive debut season in the French capital last term, making a total of 27 league appearance and setting up four goals in the process.
The Italy international has been widely linked with a move to the Bernabeu this summer but the Ligue 1 champions are determined to make him stay put.
"He's happy with PSG and will meet the company next week to talk about his future and request an adjustment," Donato Di Campli told Mediaset.
"There is interest from Madrid in the boy. I read a lot of newspapers and I am very pleased that Marco is being sought by big clubs like Real Madrid."
Verratti moved to PSG in a €12 million deal from Pescara.

You've been so good. You've given up coffee, said no to wine, refused to take a cold remedy. You're doing everything you can to get pregnant. But there's one more thing you can do to tip the scales in your favour.
According to Dr. Dean Van Vugt of Queen's University in Kingston, "Whether too heavy or too thin, women don't appreciate how their weight can affect their fertility." He also says both chronic high-calorie and low-calorie diets can have an impact on a person's ability to conceive.
While this may seem initially discouraging to some, think about it. You have a tool at your disposal that can immediately help you improve your chances of becoming pregnant: your diet. By eating healthy, well-balanced meals, you can single-handedly improve your odds of having a baby.
Overweight women have a higher percentage of body fat, and because fat cells produce estrogen, many overweight women have abnormally high levels of estrogen. This frequently disrupts ovulation and menstruation. When women are underweight, their body does not produce enough estrogen. This can interfere with ovulation and may lead to a woman's period stopping completely. Being overweight or underweight makes it difficult for the body to regulate its natural menstrual cycle, making it challenging for these women to become pregnant.
Your doctor or fertility specialist can help you determine your body mass index (BMI) and see if you are at a healthy weight. The BMI is a measure of weight in relation to height. When your BMI is below 18.5 or above 25, your ability to conceive becomes affected. Even a weight loss of about 10% for an overweight person may considerably improve ovulation and increase their odds of becoming pregnant. A healthier weight would also help reduce the pressure that pregnancy places on the uterus as it expands. One of the greatest concerns an overweight pregnant woman faces is the increased risk of miscarriage. Weight loss could decrease this risk and may also prevent other health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
People who are underweight also face an increased risk of miscarriage. If your BMI is below 18.5, a nutritious diet is the best remedy to help restore fertility. Together, you and your doctor can plan a diet rich in nutrients that will help your body regain the balance it needs to encourage regular menstrual cycles. Once regular menstrual cycles are restored, the lining of the uterus becomes more able to support a pregnancy, reducing the chance of miscarriage, as the egg now has a healthy uterine lining to implant and grow in.
How you weigh in really can affect your fertility. Help is as close as your next doctor or fertility specialist appointment. To prepare, go to the Fertility Doctor Discussion Guide, where you'll find questions especially useful for your appointment. You can also calculate your BMI using our BMI calculator.

Universal Soldier (1992) Sci-Fi Movie Review
Sci-Fi movies Review
Director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day)fortunately brings some crackle to this otherwise unexciting sci-fi drama about two once-dead, biologically-regenerated soldiers (Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren) who turn against one another when Van Damme's character has memories of his previous life. Emmerich is typically only as good as his scripts, and this one is pretty flat. The two stars do exactly what you'd expect them to do and nothing more. —Tom Keogh
Luc and Scott were killed in Vietnam, but the army has a secret project for reanimating dead people as near-perfect soldiers.

Dublin was said to have escaped from Cumberland County, NC and was found in Sampson County. I don't know what year he escaped. He was a farmer by trade in Sampson County, NC. Does anyone have any information on his parents. I have Eliza's mother, she lived the same household. Thank for any information. Alice


text: One of the best things about a new year is the clean slate it represents. It's a great time to evaluate priorities, reflect on what went right and what didn't in the year that's just passed and decide what new strategies may yield better results. It's also a good time of year to look at what didn't get checked off that to-do list. By this time in January, many of those who make New Year's resolutions have already been defeated by their good intentions. But we're not ready to give up on the hope a new year brings with it. With that in mind, we have two resolutions for us all: * Resolve to be prepared. That resolution comes at the urging of the American Red Cross of Alaska, who in the first few days of 2013 saw a 24-unit apartment complex fire in Anchorage and a 7.5-magnitude earthquake that shook Southeast Alaska, followed by the threat of a tsunami. No matter where you live in Alaska, there's a need to be prepared. Severe weather conditions, flooding, tsunamis, volcanoes and wildfire should all provide plenty of incentive to be prepared before disaster strikes. "Get a kit. Make a plan. Be prepared. Those are three important and lifesaving steps that should be followed by everyone, as emergencies can strike anywhere, anytime," says Tanguy Libbrecht, CEO the American Red Cross of Alaska. To learn how your family can better prepare for emergencies, visit www.redcross.org/prepare. The web site 72hours.org also has helpful information for how to prepare for a disaster. * Resolve to give more this year than last. In this economy, it's still tough to think about giving since so many people are struggling just to make ends meet. But each year Alaskans receive something their friends and relatives who live in other places don't get: an Alaska Permanent Fund dividend check. The Pick. Click.

Ethical Practice in Forensic Psychology: A Systematic Model for Decision Making
For individuals in the U.S. & U.S. territories
While most psychologists working in forensic contexts aspire to practice in a manner consistent with the highest ideals of ethical practice, they face numerous and complex concerns and may be unclear about how to apply the Ethics Code and Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychologists to their real-world issues.
In Ethical Practice in Forensic Psychology, Shane S. Bush, Mary A. Connell, and Robert L. Denney explore common ethical dilemmas forensic psychologists may encounter in procedures including referrals, evaluations, documentation of findings and opinions, and testimony and termination. The authors present and apply a practical ethical-decision making model to timely case vignettes in the areas of civil, criminal, and child/family law to demonstrate how to approach the ethical challenges faced in forensic psychology; they also offer suggestions for addressing potential ethical misconduct by colleagues.
This balanced and comprehensive volume will be a valuable addition to the library of forensic psychology students and trainees, and career forensic psychologists.

My choice for an elegant holiday dinner? It's hard to beat a roast, and more often than not my pick is a lean and moist pork tenderloin.
But let's face it, as much as we want to be healthy, there is such a thing as roast that is too lean. A lack of fat often means a lack of flavor. So how to make up this deficit? With plenty of high-flavor ingredients, like prosciutto, fresh herbs, mushrooms and wine.
Prosciutto packs a ton of flavor, and the slight amount of fat it adds is well worth it. As for the herbs, I took a tip from the Italians, who often top off a grilled steak with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. I tested out several herbs in this recipe, both alone and in combinations. Though I was rooting for fresh sage - a classic match with prosciutto - my tasting panel (the family) overruled me in favor of rosemary and thyme.
Given the roast's Italian inflections, I chose a mushroom Marsala sauce to go with it. Any mushroom will work, from the most affordable white button to the quite pricey shiitake. Whichever you choose, if you need to save time you usually can usually find them sliced and ready to go at the supermarket.
If you don't have Marsala at home, you can swap in Madeira, dry sherry, white vermouth, or even white or red wine. All pair up nicely with mushrooms. And, as ever, if you don't want to use alcohol, leave it out.
In order to stuff these pork roasts, you need to butterfly them. If you've never done this before, don't worry. You simply lay the log-shaped roast on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, cut in from the side of the roast about halfway down. Cut almost - but not completely - through; leave about 1/2 inch of meat on the far side. You should be able to open the roast like a book.
Next, put plastic wrap on top of the roast and - using either a meat pounder or rolling pin - pound it to an even thickness. You can help to make sure that the meat won't stick to the plastic and tear if you first sprinkle both sides of it with some water. And even if the meat does shred a bit, don't worry. It will knit back together as it cooks.
One of the great things about this recipe is that you can prepare and roll the roast a day ahead. You also can make the mushroom sauce in advance, then warm it up in the saute pan after you've browned the pork roast, which allows you to take advantage of any browned bits sticking to the bottom of the pan after the roast has left the premises. This isn't just smart time management, it's good cooking; both the roast and the sauce will taste better if you prepare them a day ahead of time. And it'll free you up to prepare the rest of your holiday meal on the big day itself.
Double Pork Roast With Mushroom Marsala Sauce
Start to finish: 1 hour
Servings: 6
2 pork tenderloin roasts (3/4 to 1 pound each), trimmed of all fat
2 tablespoons packed fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons packed fresh thyme leaves, chopped
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots or onion
1/2 pound mushrooms (cremini, white button, shiitake, oyster or a mix), trimmed and sliced
1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
11/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cut down through each tenderloin lengthwise so that you can open it up like a book, but do not cut all the way through. Sprinkle water on the cutting board under the tenderloin and sprinkle a little water on top of the tenderloin (this will help prevent the meat from tearing when you pound it). Cover the tenderloin with plastic wrap and pound the meat using a meat mallet or rolling pin until it is about 1/2-inch thick.
Sprinkle half the rosemary and thyme leaves all over the inside of each butterflied and pounded pork tenderloin and spread the prosciutto evenly in one layer over the herbs. Beginning with the long end, roll up the tenderloin tightly, tucking in the ends (as you would a burrito). Use kitchen twine to tie the roll in a bundle, tying it every 2 inches.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Season the pork lightly on all sides with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet. Sear until golden brown on all sides. Transfer the pork to a shallow baking pan, then roast on the oven's middle shelf until the center reaches 145 F, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the pork from the oven and cover loosely with foil.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and the shallots and cook, stirring, until the shallots are golden. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms give off all their liquid and are lightly browned.
Add the Marsala and simmer until almost all of it is reduced. Add 1 cup of the chicken broth and bring back to a boil. In a small bowl whisk the remaining 1/4 cup of chicken broth with the flour. Add the flour mixture to the skillet in a stream while whisking and simmer for 2 minutes. Add any juices that have accumulated from the resting pork to the sauce.
Slice the pork crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Transfer several slices to each of 6 serving plates. Spoon some of the mushroom sauce over each serving.
